No-go.

Maybe this problem has something to do with the fact that I never get a "Depart" Directive, even after the Convoy's jumped out...

[Nuclear1]

From what I can tell, the directive activates as a result the convoy jumping and from you being within a certain distance of the jump node. Have you tried flying a little closer? That might be it...

...but I'm just look in Notepad, since this isn't my FRED comp.

[Jetmech Jr.]

I've gone as close as 50 m from the center of the node. No dice.

It's a puzzler this one. I can't actually see anything wrong with the mission but Sesq had reported problems with the distance SEXP and I wanted to check if that might be the problem (evidently it isn't).

The problem is that I can't tell where the mission is failing. One question. Are you losing any of the ships in the convoy? Does that make a difference to whether you're allowed to jump out or not?

Most recently, I've been Alt-K-ing to the end of this mission (killing enemy ships as they appear). However, even when I played normally, I'm fairly sure I lost no ships.

[karajorma]

What happens if you do lose one?

[Jetmech Jr.]

IIRC, you fail the mission. I think. I cant find out atm.

[karajorma]

I know. What I meant is do you get a directive telling you to Jump out then? If so, write it down and post it. The same event controls both ways out of the mission so if one is working and the other isn't it narrows down the problem a lot for me.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Sorry about the lateness, Kara. I'll be able to get the info sometime later tonight (6:50 P.M. currently) or tomorrow afternoon.

[karajorma]

Take your time Although if we can track down the cause of the bug it would be nice to submitted it to Mantis before 3.6.7 is released (assuming that it is an SCP bug of course).

[Jetmech Jr.]

Ok, tested it:

When a mission critical Freighter dies (in my example, one of hte Lambda transports) everyone jumps out, and the Custodian orders me to jump out. I then get a Directive saying "Depart for Beta Aquilae" (at least, I'm fairly certain thats what the directive said). I am then able to jump out.

[karajorma]

Hmmm. I'll take another look at the mission then. IT means that one half of the OR SEXP works but the other half doesn't and that's somewhat confusing.

Guys,

Using Taylor's 0624 build, the problem disapeared !
I received the order to "break formation and jump" (I always get this order) but I was able to jump (distance around 80 from jump node).

What gives ?

[karajorma]

Sounds like it was an SCP error rather than anything in the mission itself and the latest version fixed it.

[Goober5000]

Or it could be a bug that got reintroduced.

I'd be interested to know what about the mission was causing the problem.

[karajorma]

Still can't see anything wrong with it to be honest.

[Goober5000]

Can you post the sexp?

[karajorma]

The actual event is a huge one but basically it does this

when
-or
--event-true-delay
---Somebody Died
---0
--and
---has-departed-delay
----Custodian
----0
---has departed delay <-----------------Lots of checks for all the ships that could be destroyed in the mission.
---<
----distance
-----alpha 1
-----Waypoint Inside Node
----600


As far as I can see all the ships that are checked for destruction in the someone died event are also checked for departure in this event. Quite frankly I'm mystified why it doesn't work as I can't see anything in the event that wouldn't be causing problems in other campaigns.

[Goober5000]

...ugh.

Okay, maybe you should attach the mission and tell me the event name.

[karajorma]

Can't remember the event's name but there's only one warp out directive and it's just below this one so you can't miss it.
